[Hero CDMA General] Powers16:
this is really simple to answer actually. He bought his hero at a Nextel phone retailer that profits from prepaid and low income account setups. Since they are the middle man between the customer and the wireless company the hero has been rooted and provisioned to work on nextel's wireless service. The fact that the gmail was setup with that account is just a way to test the functionality of the phone to make sure it works correctly on Nextel's network. I wouldnt be suprised that that nextel gmail address is used over and over again to test out android phones from sprint and verizon that get provisioned to nextel wireless. This behaviour happens quite often with cricket wireless as they do the same thing with ex sprint and verizon phones that have been ****listed and tied to accounts with an outstanding balance basically rendering thier ESN worthless on the wireless account they are tied to. Cricket/Nextel/MetroPcs/etc.. is the asshole of the phone world, eventually all phones who are owned by people who dont pay thier bills get provisioned to those companies who offer ****ty services that barely work at extremely low prices. Its basically phone hell.
[Hero CDMA General] abcdfv:
That makes so much sense.
[Hero CDMA General] HelgesenJ:
WHAT!?!?!?!

This has got to be the worst post I have ever read. There is no possible way that the Hero is running on Nextel. Sounds to me like a third party dealer sold him a used phone. Probably a salesperson got the EVO and sold his/her Hero. The Sprint Hero is CDMA only and will only function on a CDMA network. The Nextel network is iDen which is SIM based, owned by Sprint and in no way falls into the Cricket/Metro/etc. set of companies you are talking about. There is a slim possibility to get the Hero onto Boost now that they have access to Sprint's CDMA network, but with the hoops that a customer would have to jump through to do it, I can't think of a dealer that would do it for a customer. The payout on Boost is so low, it wouldn't be worth it.

So, in short, from reading your post, you have no idea what you are talking about.
[Hero CDMA General] telepheedian:
This. Tell him to return it and get on a real sprint plan, with a new phone. It sounds like he got ripped off.
[Hero CDMA General] Powers16:
In short i provided more information to the question than your ****ty response did. you wanna 1 up me, then do it right, dont be an asshole.
[Hero CDMA General] hilaireg:
@OP:

If your friends has a device that isn't stock HTC or stock carrier, have him/her return it and obtain one that is. If the device was not intended to function on the network in question, it's likely that there will be no warranty coverage.

Hi, is there any ways to change the track by holding or tapping the volume buttons(instead of turning on the phone and everything)?

I also use headphones w/ controls but everytime I press the button, it either pauses or plays the music and if I double press, it redials. Is there a way to fix that too?

Thanks in advance.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jykinturah:
This will be implemented in CyanogenMod 6 I believe. With the screen off, you can hold the volume key down and it will skip forward or backward depending on which key you are pressing.

Hello everyone;

I've modified this existing iPhone "shelf" wallpaper extensively to fit Android's icon layout and resolution. Currently, there are only versions for WVGA (Droid, N1, Galaxy S) and HVGA (G1, Hero, Legend, Magic, etc) phones.

IMPORTANT: If you're using ADW Launcher, go to ADWSettings, tap on System Preferences, and uncheck Wallpaper Hack. This fixes alignment.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] TheLuckys:
Hi all,

I recently began editing the Galaxy S kernel, from the downloadable open source package.

After some time I compiled my changes into a zImage. My problem is, it won't flash when i put it in the most recent PHONE_I9000XWJG5.tar.

Odin3 just hangs at Flashing zImage...

My zImage is about 2.5MB in size, and the original JG5 zImage is 4.6MB, so I guess I am missing something.

I think I am missing the modules (which you can also compile). But I'm not sure.

Does anyone know how to compile a working kernel for the Samsung Galaxy S?

Thanks in advance!

I'm downloading the GT-i9000 opensource ZIP from Samsung, but i don't quite understand where can i get the Android Toolchain....

Is It really 6GB as it says HERE ?

I wish there was a XDA-like tutorial for this :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] learnig:
No one firmwares,hardspl,or jumpspl, when i ran after sync my TYTN II could get it in boodloader mode automatic(3 color screen).

yea...it would restart n didnt show 3 color screen but just hang in black screen.

if i reset,it would restart normally.

i say automatic because i could get in boodloader mode in manual (press power+camera+reset).

ooh ya 1 more thing, this TYTN II cant read micro anymore.

was there a relation with this case?

i just want to upgrade it.

i had tried official rom, some hardspl for this model but still in same result.

pls..!

Need advice!
[Droid Eris Android Development] surgeon0214:
In your own opinion, what is the fastest ROM you have used. And I'm not talking about MFLOPS, I mean no lag wise.
[Droid Eris Android Development] droidkevlar:
I have tested all ROMs and always go back to Aloysius v11 MAPS. Smooth, no fc's, great speed and it has sense.

By the way, this has nothing to do with dev, should be moved to general.
[Droid Eris Android Development] vantagejuan:
kaosfroyo is the fastest, but this thread belongs in general not development.

[Droid Eris Android Development] Zerox8610:
Evil Eris Handddssss DOOOWWWNNNN
[Droid Eris Android Development] droidkevlar:
Can you give more on why its the fastest for you? I am not trying to call you out or anything but when I tested v23, yes, it was fast, but wasnt smooth. Are you just going my mflop scores you got? Screen movement, opening of apps and scrolling were not as smooth as Aloysius for me.
[Droid Eris Android Development] xtacydima:
IMO, it is prob a more fair comparison to break up a survey like this into Which is fastest for: sense and sense-less type Rom's. Otherwise, its not drawing a fair comparison from the get-go, obviously the sense-less Rom's have a speed advantage right off.
[Droid Eris Android Development] droidkevlar:
IMO, sense-based roms are smoother. They may not be faster in MFLOPS test, but over all smoothness...if that makes any sense. Like flow of scrolling through apps in app drawer...things like that.

But I do agree with you. Or just have people give full break down on why they like their current setup better than others.
[Droid Eris Android Development] vantagejuan:
not going based on any benchmarking, just from speed of use. i use my phone a lot in the car with pandora/navigation in combo and most other ROMs are a pain with navigation and anything else loaded. ADW launher that comes pre-loaded on it is pretty laggy with the stock settings, but i turn off all animations and set the scrolling speed to "0" (fastest) and it runs like fire. I haven't tried any ROM without any lag at all and KaosFroyo with ADW does lag a little, but the multi-tasking power is what sealed it for me.
[Droid Eris Android Development] n2imagination:
Just posted this over on kaos thread yesterday but thought it might be good for comparison sake here.

And FYI I never plugged in until 12noon the next day, so that's 29hrs:eek: and I had 15% left when I plugged in. Never plugged in at night also.

Using Launcher Pro

16gb class6 card, no partition (Froyo builds don't need it)

stock battery
[Droid Eris Android Development] droidkevlar:
OK. I will have to try out these settings when I reflash it again tonight if I get bored. Thanks.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Hungry Man:
Other: CM6 port for the eris.

768mhz: 443 on quadrant...
[Droid Eris Android Development] Hungry Man:
I also notice no slow downs despite having things like surface dithering and all of the "aesthetics" turned up. Smooth scrolling is turned on with launcherpro (slows the phone down for prettier scrolling) and I can't even tell the difference speed-wise.

I am fairly confident that it's as fast as can be for now.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Sjflowerhorn:
choke on D

Kaos FroYo is the fastest smoothest best on battery rom ever. so suk it.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Hungry Man:
AW SNAP SON NO YOU DID NOT

>_> lol

CM6 FO LYFE =p
[Droid Eris Android Development] irod87:
kaosfroyo is the fastest but erislightningbolt is a close second imo.
[Droid Eris Android Development] LexusBrian400:
I agree. Not to mention the stock camera app works on CELB 2.8. The linpack and quadrant scores are very similar. I get way less FC's on celb. So imo, celb is faster. Linpack scores don't mean anything to me. Its the actual use that counts.
[Droid Eris Android Development] surgeon0214:
Which cyanogenmod 6 port are you using? and do you notice faster speeds through menus and such? or is it just the MFLOPS?
[Droid Eris Android Development] Hungry Man:
lol it's not the mflops. I personally don't give a damn about benchmarks but the fact is I am getting higher benchmark scores on it. I'm quite speedy with it and can play games very well. I suggest setting dalvik cache to 24m

There's the link. Haven't had a force close once in any app... so strange for me lol
[Droid Eris Android Development] surgeon0214:
Im thinking of trying this but I am using KaosFroyo as of now and I don't think it will be much of a difference. I was pulling 5.4 to 5.8 MFLOPS this morning, my phone was running so smooth
[Droid Eris Android Development] Hungry Man:
Maybe not. How fast were you clocked when you hit 5.8? Never heard of the Eris getting so fast.

The difference between kaos froyo and cyanogenmod for me has been the stability for the most part. I would get slow downs easily with kaos (that was mostly my phone though) and CM6 has just been really fast.
[Droid Eris Android Development] surgeon0214:
I was able to keep it at 824 or 825 when I was getting those readings, that only lasted for like 3 minutes and it crashed. I just leave it at 806 and get like 5.3 to 5.4 even though I see some slow downs in actual speed
[Droid Eris Android Development] chicken59:
I hit 5.9, not sporadically, with CM6 clocked at 844/768 and this is stable for me. I managed between 470 and 490 with quadrant too. CM6 seems to randomly freeze for a couple seconds though, doesn't matter what it's clocked at. Of course reliability >>> linpack scores, so KaosFroyo wins for me.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Hungry Man:
How odd. You're lucky to be able to get so high though, I'm very jealous. I'm getting a refurb soon and I'd love if it could OC that high.
[Droid Eris Android Development] surgeon0214:
Its faster but freezes alot (for a short amount of time)? What about you Hungry Man?
[Droid Eris Android Development] Hungry Man:
Never get freezes lol I got them with Kaosfroyo quite often. I'm at 768 very stable on CM6 and my highest quadrant is 443. 5.5 ish is my highest linpack.
[Droid Eris Android Development] surgeon0214:
What setting does your phone crash at with CM6?
[Droid Eris Android Development] Hungry Man:
806, same with every ROM. I can get 787 but it's fairly unstable.
[Droid Eris Android Development] chicken59:
864 still makes my phone reboot though. :( Are you using setcpu or overclock widget? I bet I can open the xda app .000002 seconds faster than you so I'll know about v24 .000002 seconds before you! Burn. :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] surgeon0214:
I think I'm gonna stick with kaos for a few more days since ive only had it since yesterday, then once CM6 in more developed(out of alpha) I'll flash it
[Droid Eris Android Development] surgeon0214:
you told him :D somebody call 911
[Droid Eris Android Development] Hungry Man:
Don't expect that, ROM's stay alpha for a while. I'm just saying it's pretty much working perfectly now lol I don't miss any functions...

Holy **** I can not come back from that D: D: D:

I use setcpu. I find that at 787 I'll end up just going slower.

Do you know your dalvik heap size?
[Droid Eris Android Development] chicken59:
Yeah it's faster I guess, placebo effect after I saw those linpack scores is certainly possible though. No not a lot, just more than KaosFroyo. And not anything incapacitating, just irritating. You really don't have a difficult decision to make if you're looking for the fastest. KaosFroyo, CM6, or CELB.

No, I'm using v19 because I accidentally deleted v20 and wiped. I don't think I can edit dalvik heap size because Cyanogenmod settings are missing.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Hungry Man:
I've also set my launcher and cyanogen settings for fastest possible on top of spare parts for faster animations. The spare parts is all placebo but the rest is not. It's really very smooth for me and it makes me like my phone again =p
[Droid Eris Android Development] surgeon0214:
I'm curious about the cyanogen settings, what do you have checked and unchecked to make it smoother and faster?
[Droid Eris Android Development] Hungry Man:
I have everything checked (Enable surface dithering will actually SLOW the phone down but very little and I do like aesthetic mods =p) as for VM heap size:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=726038

Those are my findings on it, 24m is the best for me.
[Droid Eris Android Development] CPCookieMan:
The only reason I care about my benchmark scores is to show my show-offy friends with Droids that my phone beats theirs. Still Froyo is really fast and the first time I tried it it was really slow and I immediately flashed over it, but that was because I was still syncing my data from Google. I let it run after being told that and it works like a dream. (And I hope not the HTC Dream either. I can't imagine that with 2.2 but I guess it kinda works if you like slow response times.)
[Droid Eris Android Development] Hungry Man:
lol that's exactly what I use benchmarks for.
[Droid Eris Android Development] CPCookieMan:
I was REALLY impressed with the difference in scores between 2.1 and 2.2. If you have not tried Froyo with JIT and all then you have not pushed your phone to the limit. On an unrelated topic that didn't seem like it needed it's own thread, is there a way to get the 1.6 stock lockscreen or the 2.0 stock lockscreen on a newer rom? I really like how plain and simple the Android 1.X lockscreens were.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Hungry Man:
Not sure O_o
[Droid Eris Android Development] CPCookieMan:
It would be cool cuz then your phone would feel really stock. :) Where did the idea of lets get cool roms in here go. I thought we were getting an Xperia rom and a Motoblur. :( That would be cool just to have the option.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Hungry Man:
I think Motoblur has a bit too much of a negative connotation with it lol
[Droid Eris Android Development] ferrocene:
CELB 2.8 with Launcher Pro is smooth like butter. Tried it on two different my phones. ADW is laggy for me.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
moto blur sux and its ugly lol i took it off my x really fast lol

Sadly, I've looked into that very much lol but no Virgin mobile doesn't allow any other phones but their own even if unlocked.

And even if you could somehow get it activated (which your chance is little to none) it wouldn't work on their "beyond talk plans" so far only 4 virgin mobile branded phones work on that plan all others work on their basic pay as you go service.

Boost mobile (cdma) will work fine on a vogue though.

Maybe because I am used to Windows Mobile with all the reboots, I was wondering how to reboot without using the power button. In the market there is a free application called Quick Boot which allows a simple reboot, reboot to recovery or even to get to the bootloader. You need to have your device rooted, but other than that it installs easily and is a handy tool.
[HTC Aria General] clickclickpc:
Quick Boot works just fine on the Aria. If you have SU permission issues just clear the SU cache and data.
